I have developed a custom task pane add-in for SharePoint Online(Word) and got stuck in Publishing the Add-in SharePoint in a Organizational Level. I tried the following methods.
Publishing it in the App Catalog (Using Manifest.xml file).
Publishing it using the Integrated Apps using the manifest file.
Please post your thoughts about this and help me with publishing the Add-in
Thanks in advance

I have deployed an Office Add-in and uploaded through the O365 Admin Center The Add-In appears in the Excel Ribbon but can use it as a message appears “We could not open the Add-In from LocalHost.
Should I modify anything in the Manifest File?
The Add-In was created with Yeoman and it´s addressed to “LocalHost:3000”.
It´s just a template (taskpane example)
Many thanks in advance!!!

Localhost is only used to host the add-in during development. If you have deployed the add-in with Centralized Deployment, then you should be hosting the add-in on a web server or cloud account. In that case, the URLs in the manifest should be changed to the domain that is hosting the add-in.
The office word-in contains two projects i.e the add-in that contains the manifest file and web.
On the Microsoft site there is only a step to deploy the manifest file, how do I deploy the web project? How does the manifest file reference the web project?
It sounds like from your description that you are using Visual Studio to create your Word Add-in with the standard template. Visual Studio can help you with the steps of deploying your website and updating the manifest. Here's how:
-On the Add-in Project in Visual Studio, choose Publish.
-Create a new Publishing Profile
-Deploy the Web Project
-Return to the Publish your add-in page and choose Package the add-in. It will give you an option to choose the location of the web project that you just published.

My aim is develop an excel application and use it on my sharepoint online 2013 portal. So I developed an excel task pane app on napa. I downloaded it for visual studio and open it on visual studio 2012. After that I changed it's project type from app for office to auto hosted app for sharepoint and I publish it, got .app file. Than I opened my sharepoint online portal app catalog site and upload my .app file to apps for sharepoint library. You can see my app(AddressCleaner) from below image.
After all of these steps I went site content and click add an app. But I can't see my app in available apps. I can't find any solution. Actually I followed this ->post
What I'm missing? Is any suggestion as to what is wrong?
Thanks
I solved my problem. I didn't understand its cause but it was solved. I downloaded my project again from napa and changed its package type in visual studio. After than i uploaded it to apps for sharepoint library in app catalog site. I installed it. Than i added my catalog site as trusted site to excel file and inserted my app. Thats all.
I am newbie to Sharepoint.
I want to create workflow as template using Sharepoint designer and deploy it as feature.
Following link Workflow Deployment Using Features suggests, this can be achieved in visual studio.
I have following questions
1. Can sharepoint foundation has workflow as template
2. Can we deploy workflow made in designer as feature
If answer to both these is yes, please share some links to get started for these.
You can use Reusable workflow for this.
Assuming you are on SharePoint 2010,
Create a new reusable workflow.
Save it and publish it and test that it works fine
In the ribbon, use Save as Template option to save it.
It will get saved in Site Assets Library as wsp form where you can download it and upload to other sites as wsp and activate the feature to use it there.

I have a custom webpart for Sharepoint 2007. I am trying to deploy it to a new Sharepoint web application. I am using WSPBuilder with VS2010 to do the deploy. When I examine the wss\VirtualDirectories\ folder for the web app, the wpcatalog folder does not exist there. When I go to the Web Part Gallery and click "New" button, the web part is no there either. What could be causing this behavior? Are there any other ways to troubleshoot it?
Thanks.
the wpcatalog is actually a document library containing the .webpart definition files. It is stored in the content database, not the file system.
You need to verify the solution is in fact deployed to your web application, and then activate any features if necessary. You can verify the solution deployment under central administration\operations\solution management.
